It is a fun way to benchmark your system. I managed to get 4.1hz on my 13th gen i5 work laptop. Let's see an M-series chip blow that out of the water. ;) EDIT - It was 4.1Hz in advance mode. Actually runs at between 22Hz and 44hz depending on each time I run it. Odd to have such a wide performance variation. I will just blame Windows and some power management setting/thermal throttling.

62Hz on an iPhone 15 Pro

88Hz on the M4 Pro

There it is, about 4 times faster than my machine. The single core performance of the M-series is something special.

Well I've played the 6502 simulator as a kind on my 6502 Apple ][ clone :) :) :) youtube.com/watch?si=XuNgnVc4rf86nIgA&t=42 it should'be available here to play online too (but haven't tried it) https://archive.org/details/257_Educational_Software_The_650...

The emulator on that page gets an error when booting, but I think the content is the same as this:

Which was awesome as a kid to finally see what was "going on" inside there.

So, yeah, this is wonderful since the ARM architecture (Acorn Risc Machine) is arguably derived from the 6502 by Sophie Wilkins and Steve Furber at Acorn Computers.
